Explanation
Rezoning Application Z17-055
APPLICANT: Ohio Mulch; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Landscaping and mulch retail and wholesale.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on March 8, 2018.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This 1.2 acre site is zoned L-M, Limited Manufacturing, and consists of two parcels, each developed with a vacant non-conforming single-unit dwelling. The current L-M district (Ordinance #0504-2016/Z15-050), approved on March 14, 2016, permits limited commercial uses and a landscaping and mulch retail and wholesale business as the only allowed manufacturing use. That L-M district also established supplemental development standards addressing landscaping and screening, material height; and a commitment to a site plan. The applicant now desires to convert the former dwellings and use them for the business. This rezoning request will maintain the L-M district and merely replaces the registered site plan with a new site plan that accommodates the incorporation of those structures. All other use restrictions and development standards established by Ordinance #0504-2016, Z15-050 are unchanged and will remain in effect with this ordinance. Staff recognizes the incorporation of the two existing structures into the site plan as a negligible change from the current L-M, Limited Manufacturing District, and, therefore, supports this request.

WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the requested L-M, Limited Manufacturing District is consistent with the zoning and development patterns in the area. The proposal will permit the development of a retail and wholesale landscaping and mulch business with appropriate use restrictions and development standards, now, therefore:
